Mike, 

If you do any contesting or if you want to operate during a contest, roofing
filters are the way to go. As I get older the "pumping" noise from adjacent
signals has become ever more distracting. The rig I used for the California
QSO party was new and had a Collins 500Hz "virtual" roofing filter. During
the contest some stations could copy me but I could not copy them due to the
pumping generated by adjacent signals. I now use a K3 with "real" 2.8 kHz,
1.8 kHz and 400 Hz roofing filters. The improvement was dramatic. 73, Fred,
AE6IC.
